Definitions

  • the field of invention relates to devices for orthopedic use. More particularly, the field of invention relates to devices for use in the reconstruction of fatigue/insufficiency factures of the acromion and scapula that can occur after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
  • the document EP 3 135 234 A1 relates to a three-dimensional fracture fixation device for treating clavicle fracture with the intent to protect the supraclavicular nerve from later iatrogenic transsection injury that may occur when the fixation bone plate is removed.
  • the components of the three-dimensional fracture fixation device include at least one fixation locking plate, a nerve protection scutum (shield), junctional hooks connecting the fixation locking plate and supporting the nerve protection scutum (shield), and bone screws, which are assembled to form a defined space to accommodate the supraclavicular nerve during open reduction and internal fixation.
  • the document EP 1 743 586 A1 relates to a bone plate for use in setting a clavicle, comprising an elongate portion and an arch portion, the elongate portion having a curve approximately the shape of the anterior surface of the clavicle, the arch portion being adapted to fit over a clavicle in the region of the acromial end thereof.
  • Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a surgical technique in which the shoulder's natural ball-and-socket joint, which has a rounded humeral head (i.e., ball) interfacing with the glenoid cavity (i.e., socket) of the scapula, is replaced by a reversed ball-and-socket joint, which has a glenosphere (i.e., ball) implanted on the shoulder and mating with a cup (i.e., socket) implanted on the humerus.
  • rTSA Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
  • FIG. 1A shows a representative radiographic depiction of a shoulder joint after rTSA and prior to scapular fracture
  • Figure 1B shows a representative radiographic depiction of the shoulder joint after scapular fracture following rTSA.
  • Acromial and scapula fatigue/insufficiency fractures can occur any time after the initial rTSA procedure, occurring as early as the first day of surgery and as late as 10+ years after the surgical procedure.
  • Acromial and scapula fatigue/insufficiency fractures after rTSA can occur at various locations on the acromion and scapular spine. These fracture types have been classified as type 1 (fracture of the lateral acromion with a deltoid avulsion), type 2 (fracture of the mid-scapular spine at-or around the location of the scapular notch), and type 3 (fracture at the base of the scapular spine).
  • Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C show a superior view, a posterior view, and a superior-oblique view, respectively, of the portions of the acromion that fracture as a result of these different types of fractures.
  • Figures 3A and 3B show a superior view and a posterior view, respectively, of a healthy scapula.
  • Figures 3C and 3D show a superior view and a posterior view, respectively, of a scapula that has experienced a type 1 fracture.
  • Figures 3E and 3F show a superior view and a posterior view, respectively, of a scapula that has experienced a type 2 fracture.
  • Figures 3G and 3H show a superior view and a posterior view, respectively, of a scapula that has experienced a type 3 fracture.
  • the rate of acromial and scapula fatigue/insufficiency fractures after rTSA is relatively low, but is typically reported to be between 1 and 10%.
  • Type 2 fractures appear to be the most common scapular insufficiency fracture type after rTSA.
  • the timing and level of rigor of the rehabilitation program may also play a role on the rate and severity of the acromial or scapular fatigue/insufficiency fracture. These fractures could also be caused during the surgery by traction with a retractor when attempting to gain exposure to the glenoid. Whatever the specific cause (or combination of causes), the patient population is predominantly female, osteoporotic, and elderly. As a result of these factors, the fracture is at a disadvantage for healing; patient health quality and patient co-morbidities also influence the quality of fracture reconstruction and the rate and probability of fracture healing over time.
